Fun day out! - We thoroughly enjoyed our Hook-A-Barra experience. Pick up at our hotel was timely (including a phone call ahead to confirm that the driver was on time); our guide on the farm tour was very knowledgeable and others we met were extremely passionate about the business. The fishing experience itself was fun, especially as we were lucky enough to hook several Barra! All staff members were friendly and helpful. All in all, this was a great day out!

Terrific day - Went with friends, picked up from Port Douglas and traveled in aircon comfort with local commentary from our guide. Great fishing experience, ideal for all levels including non fishers. We chose the farm tour and lunch, everything was terrific. Highly recommended

Best burra farm fishing experience for young family! - We wanted our children aged 12, 10 and 4 to learn a bit about fish grown in farm and production. They have all enjoyed the thorough explanation of how the burramundi started all the way to it being sold. They also answered all the questions we had and the experience of catching a burra was my 4 yr old daughter's best experience. She wanted to do it again. The food there was also amazingly fresh. I highly recommend family with kids to go on the tour while at Port Douglas to gain some experience and enjoy the good/fresh burra! Thank you Burra!

Not to be Missed in Port Douglas - We had a wonderful time here and were glad we chose the 4 hr plus experience where we were given an insight on the workings of a barramundi farm. A lot of credit must go to the extremely informative and effervescent Michael who regaled us with facts and figures about the barramundi and the farm. Lunch of barramundi and chips and the spicy barra burger was excellent. We topped off the day by reeling in two whoppers of barramundi! An exceptional day, indeed. Thank you Michael.

Highlight of our trip! - Absolute- must do experience. We caught the shuttle organised by the farm from Port Douglas on pick up Michael introduced himself and instantly we felt welcomed.. Michael led us on a tour around the farm which was very interesting and engaging and spoke about how the farm operates as well as the damages caused by the recent flooding caused by cyclone Jasper. We were saddened to learn that over 60% of their operations were damaged because of their flooding including some of their barramundi being unfortunately released into the Daintree river (great fishing now for the locals!) After our tour we had a really lovely lunch of fish and chips (other options including chicken available) which was cooked locally on the farm. Then we were into fishing! As someone with minimal fishing experience we were taught the tips and tricks on how to catch the barramundi and ended up catching two fish each, two of which were nearly 80cm!! It wasn’t just a fishing experience. We appreciated how caring the operators were of the fish and witnessed this first hand with their fishing tactics and release techniques. All of their operations consider the fish, wildlife and Daintree forest and what is best for the environment. Highly, highly recommend. Be sure to take a long sleeve shirt, hat and sunglasses as you are outside. Can’t wait to go back with family!

Great way to fish - Great day! Michael picked us up in Port Douglas & was friendly & polite from the start. We did a farm tour with Micheal which was interesting & informative. For lunch we had Barra fish & chips which were cooked to perfection. Then the fun started, under to the guidance of Michael we put our lines in & my god those Barra do bite & do put up fight. Thank you to Steve & the fabulous team at the Barra farm & especially to Micheal our top guide for great day.
